Yesterday SOE patched the Legends of Norrath ingame TCG into EQ and EQ2. It is a fantasy based trading card game similar to popular titles like Magic: The Gathering.

Unfortunately Legends of Norrath is currently in a closed beta status. Attendees of the 2007 SOE Fan Faire in Las Vegas get exclusive opportunity to try out the game on their live servers. Unlike other betas this one is different. The usual rule of the thumb for betatests is ‘what happens on beta — stays on beta’. This means that everything you earn while in a beta is lost once it ends.

LoD beta is different. Everything you earn while on beta will stay in your possession after beta ended. This includes the looted cards and the special rewards that are associated with some of the cards. These rewards differ from game to game but seem to be very nice and people will really want them.

Included are some really nice mounts (for EQ2 you will be able to obtain 2 carpet mounts and 2 armored worg mounts), Adventuring, Tradeskill and AA boost potions, a nice set of cloaks that have nice boni, house items, crafting recipes and illusion items.

In EQ2 once can access LoD using the EQ2 menu or by issuing the /tcg command. Even while not being part of the beta test you can try out the tutorial and read more information about the game in the LoD window that will open.

UPDATE: Beta is no longer closed. It got opened to email applications.
